Abstract:
Data, as a core element of artificial intelligence and big data, will have a profound impact on the development of human society. With the rapid accumulation of data capacity, the continuous improvement of data quality and computing power, how to use and manage data has become an important proposition brought to human society by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Based on a review of research literature on data governance, we sort out and comment on issues related to data characteristics, data applications, and data management from historical, economic, and legal perspectives, and propose several directions for future research. This research enriches the theoretical basis of this field and is instructive to the issues of big data management, data governance, digital government, and digital transformation that academics are concerned about.
